A sparrow would fart 2 miles away sitting on top of a mountain, and the wind shear it creates would wobble the scope. Having previously owned an eq5 I don't see how the eq5 would be deemed suitable under any wind shear, mild or higher. Hence why I now own an neq6 pro.
I am quite aware of people who run 12" on an eq6, and get away with it, however they always are quick to add it has to be on a very still night for astrophotography otherwise it's practically useless, because they are up at those upper weight limits and present a very large surface area for wind shear.
Obviously one's budget is the overall limiting factor, but limiting one choice to a lower mount is the worst thing anyone could do.
The foundation of good astronomy starts with a good telescope mount.
